Last year I bought an 18' lorry body to use for storage
A few weeks ago the roller shutter door decided to fall apart as the rollers were pretty shot
The rollers are 46mm nylon wheels on an 11mm shaft
Not a problem, bit of Internet searching turned up loads of 2" jobbies but finding 46mm at a reasonable price was slightly more challenging but got there in the end.
Started to strip the old door panels yesterday and the shaft of the roller bit has a nylon sleeve and they are also worn out
OD of the sleeve is approx 14mm and the OD of the flange at the end is about 18mm
Back to the Internet to see if I could order some at which point I discovered that the 2" wheels are actually 46mm but fit in a 2" track so I could have got them from all the truck spares places
Anyways, can't seem to find these nylon tubes online, spoke to Fleetwheel and they can't get them. I've got a test one printing off in PETG but ideally I'd like to find the proper jobbies
So does anyone know what they are called and where I might find some?
The other bit I'm after is the aluminium extrusion that holds the rollers onto the doors, picture below, again, no idea what they are called so struggling to find any online
